SPUGsters,
As you've probably learned by now, the future of "The Perl Journal"
(TPJ), currently published by Earthweb Inc., is uncertain.
There's some doubt as to whether the next issue, or any one after
that, will be forthcoming. A legal action has been initiated, so
the parties are not at liberty to say too much in public, but you
can read the remarks of TPJ Editor Jon Orwant on the subject at:
http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=01/01/03/0044235&mode=thread
Consultix was counting on our ad in the next TPJ issue to raise
awareness of the five public Perl classes we're running in Seattle
in February, including two by "The Perl Wonder from Down Under",
Dr. Damian Conway ( see http://www.consultix-inc.com/sched.html ).
In a last-ditch effort to get the word out in time, I managed
to get the nice people over at Linux Journal to squeeze our
ad into the next issue, after the closing deadline had already
passed. They are fans of TPJ too, and would hate to see the Perl
community damaged by its dissolution, so they're ready to help
TPJ subscribers with the special offer described below.
Please consider taking advantage of it!

. . . please pass the word on that we'll offer any Perl Journal
(ex?)subscriber a free 6 month subscription to Linux Journal.
All they have to do is email khris at ssc.com before the end of
January and I'll take care of them from there. We have the great
'At the Forge' monthly series by Reuven Lerner featuring Perl
and I'm certain we can make sure Linux Journal sees an extra Perl
article or two within their subscription time.
